Uh oh

The lovely st_crispins has just pointed out that one of my vids has been stuck up on youtube. Any other vidders have any advice on what the heck I should do about this? I'd love to post a comment on the vid pointing out that it's bad form to put up someone else's work, but I'm already feeling a wee bit exposed.

I've just put a big, freaking do not share these vids warning on my site, and I've really got to get around to password protecting my site. I'm going to give it a day, and then I'll probably be yanking the vid portion of my site down until I can get around to doing the password thing.

I so did not need this to happen right now.

On the other hand, there are tons of fannish vids on YouTube, really - some vidders only post their vids there (usually younger vids, yes, but not only). And basically only fans look for them.

If you want, I can leave a comment on your behalf, I do have a YouTube account :)

The problem with YouTube is the RIAA is starting to sic their attack dog lawyers on people who use copyrighted music on video posted to the site, so I'm eager to keep my stuff off it.

If you could post a comment asking the person to remove it, I'd be very appreciative. You can tell them you're asking on my behalf and say that while I applaud their enthusiasm, I want to keep my vids in fannish forums to protect them as much as possible from legal difficulties. You might also want to add that it's good form to ask permission before posting something created by another fan.

I think moving to a password protected szite - that explicitly asks people not to repost it elsewhere is the best you can do. Also (as much as I hate this) leaving off any names/websites/contact e-mail in the credits for online.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to do this. For my own piece of mind, if nothing else.

Can I pick you brain for how you set up your password?

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

sure! and feel free to look over my, wickedwords and gwyn's password disclaimers.

[phantomas.livejournal.com]

Done. Let's see if she reps to me or not. :)

You're the best!
